There’s no doubt in my mind that art soothes, inspires and generally enriches our lives. Art also heals. Plus, it’s downright fun to do, whether you’re good at it or not.
Children’s Healing Art Project (CHAP) brings the healing power of art to children in crisis and their families with a mobile team of teaching artists working in Portland, Oregon’s children’s hospitals.
In 2009, CHAP worked with over 10,000 children and their families. That’s a lot of art. Awesome art.
